Apparently this is the question of the day - my question was  
answered in the thread 'Rotating a mc around a custom pivotpoint'.

Hi all,

This might be a silly question - but I've been searching for a  
while and haven't come up with a good answer yet.
The question is - how do you change a movieclip's anchor point at  
runtime?


Lets say you've got a 400x300 movieclip, with an anchor point of  
0,0 (upper lefthand corner).

If you want to change the anchor to 200,0 ... what do you do?

MovieClip.setAnchor(x,y) doesn't exist, right?

It seems like one would have to load the movie into another  
movieclip, offset the position of the subMovie, then rotate the  
parent clip right? Is this the only way? Any tips or tricks  
would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
